Extensions

AdBlock

The AdBlock extension from Midori uses the same lists as the AdBlock Plus extension for Firefox so you can get more lists from the AdBlock Plus site. You can also block specific images on various sites by right-clicking them and choosing Block image.

Search engines

Midori also supports search engines, much in the fashion other browsers do. Various search engines have shortcuts so that they can be easily used from the address bar. To manage your search engines click on the icon in the search engine box and choose Manage Search Engines.

Of course you can do clever things with this features, such as provide various shortcuts for various websites (not just for searching). For example you can add another entry to the Search Engines dialog with the token arch and the necessary information for the Arch Linux homepage. Now you can access the Arch Linux website just by typing arch.

User scripts

To enable the user scripts extensions go to Menu > Preferences > Extensions and check the User addons box. Midori's user scripts are compatible with Firefox's Greasemonkey scripts. You can find an extensive list of scripts on userscripts.org.

For manual installation, you have to create the folder ~/.local/share/midori/scripts and copy your scripts there. This folder will be automatically picked up by Midori and any compatible scripts will be loaded.

Flash Plugin

Tips and Tricks

Flash Block

You can also get the common FlashBlock extension in the form of a user script either from userscripts.org or by using the FlashBlock WannaBe script, this script has to be installed in ~/.local/share/midori/scripts and ~/.local/share/midori/styles, for the Javascript file, respectively the CSS file.

Personal AdBlock filters

Midori's AdBlock support is rather basic, you can only use pre-made lists or block some images. We can get around that by creating our own lists and telling Midori where to find them.

For this:

create a folder for your filters, such as ~/.local/share/midori/filters
